00:00:05.000
Sorry we're late, but that's just how shit goes.
00:00:18.000
If you listen to this, it's like, wow, they're going to talk about some cool shit.
00:00:20.000
Maybe, but what we're actually doing is watching fights.
00:00:24.000
And during the fights, while they're playing off live, we're going to be talking.
00:00:43.000
He's got a little more feminine when Tate was here.
00:00:55.000
We've got 3 minutes and 30 seconds on the clock left in the round.
00:01:06.000
This is the first fight, and if you're watching this live, you will probably be about 10 to 15 seconds behind the actual live fight.
00:01:22.000
That's that weird moment when someone's legs give out.
00:01:33.000
The way she's trying to catch the half guard, the girl on the bottom.
00:01:39.000
Rampage stopped Chuck Liddell with elbows to the body.
00:01:41.000
But from side control like that, with a downward elbow right there, you don't see that often.
00:01:46.000
Even on the body, you're not even supposed to throw that down.
00:01:50.000
You can't even throw a downward elbow to the thigh.
00:02:03.000
Because they were saying a karate move was breaking, right?
00:02:07.000
Breaking boards 12 to 6. That shit's so dangerous.
00:02:11.000
It was actually the Athletic Commission when John McCarthy met with them.
00:02:18.000
They were so scared because they had seen ESPN like 2 o'clock in the morning, white dudes breaking cinder blocks.
00:02:33.000
No, a heel, a spinning heel kick will knock you into the next dimension.
00:02:37.000
But can you break the same kind of shit they break with their elbows with other parts of your body?
00:02:44.000
There's nothing tougher than your heel and shin.
00:02:48.000
Like you can kick someone in the head with your heel And it doesn't hurt.
00:02:54.000
When was the last time you ever heard of someone breaking their heel by kicking someone?
00:02:57.000
Look at this girl's got some pretty clever jiu-jitsu, man.
00:03:00.000
Look at this, she's only got the head in there, but this bitch can't breathe.
00:03:03.000
Valerie Naterno, I shouldn't say bitch, because I do work for this organization.
00:03:12.000
It's not necessarily doing anything, but people have gone out from no arm triangles.
00:03:19.000
If you have a good squeeze and you have short legs...
00:03:25.000
You should shut the fuck up right now, probably.
00:03:29.000
Are you sure she could be pushing it down on her knee?
00:03:32.000
But you know, one thing that does work, though, is the fucking leg scissors.
00:03:41.000
This upper triangle is a little different, especially at a high level.
00:03:45.000
Right, but as Valerie Letourneau, she had a high level with jiu-jitsu.
00:03:49.000
She could go for a leg scissor right here if she untriangled her legs.
00:03:53.000
Her fucking head is stuck under the chin, though.
00:03:58.000
That bitch is going to be taller after this fight.
00:04:09.000
Anytime I'm caught in something like this and I can't get my head out, my main goal, if I can't get my head out, is to do the exact same thing to them.
00:05:02.000
I saw you the other day at the store, but I didn't say anything.
00:05:09.000
Yeah, man, but I'm talking to my boy Tate Fletcher.
00:05:19.000
That's a hell of a first fight to give somebody, too.
00:05:32.000
That girl did recover, and that was a funky position she had Valerie in.
00:05:45.000
You guys should all make a point of let's all try to head out to Vegas for the December 12th event.
00:06:00.000
And Aldo and McGregor, which probably won't happen.
00:06:19.000
Dude, we should do a fight companion from there, Joe.
00:06:46.000
I don't agree with that fight, the Holly Holm fight.
00:06:49.000
I would have gone with Amanda Nunes before Holly Holm.
00:07:04.000
You know, all you're doing is, because when Ronda leaves, you need people to know these other girls, so basically you're just putting all these marketing dollars into these girls.
00:07:13.000
So at least when Ronda leaves, we're like, oh yeah!
00:07:19.000
She definitely has a better stand-up than Ronda, right?
00:07:26.000
I would say, too, as a boxer, best boxer in the world, probably.
00:07:31.000
But the deal is, in boxing, it's a lot of point fighting.
00:07:36.000
Is there knockout power in those hands, and Ronda has it, and Holly's been doing a different kind of sport for a long time.
00:07:43.000
Like, if it was boxing, yeah, man, now we gotta fight.
00:07:46.000
She's only the best boxer in the world for women if Ann Wolfe decides to still not box.
00:07:54.000
She might be 40 or whatever the fuck she is, but if Ann Wolfe decides to run through a training camp, tell you what, man, that is one chick that, as a dude, I would not want to get punched by.
00:08:12.000
Tell me you're not going to be interested and excited to see Holly Holm against Ronda.
00:08:16.000
If she demolishes her in a minute, fuck, that's a great fight.
00:08:31.000
At least those guys were world class though, my man.
00:08:34.000
Ronda competing is like Usain Bolt going to the Special Olympics running track.
00:08:38.000
They were world class against opposition that wasn't Mike Tyson.
00:08:54.000
A lot of them were former world champs to get to that point.
00:08:55.000
Bruce Seldon was a legit world-class heavyweight.
00:09:00.000
The real problem with those guys is that they were fighting Tyson.
00:09:04.000
The real problem with Ronda is Ronda is like a Mike Tyson.
00:09:41.000
Cyborg, steroids or no steroids, you know, take away all that controversy, just go based on her performances, ferocious, terrifying, world-class, dangerous fighter.
00:09:56.000
Cyborg, whoever the fuck her manager is, she needs to fire that person.
00:10:00.000
She needs to just lose weight, get on a scale, show, here I am, I make 135, Rhonda, that bell is my, you bitch.
00:10:18.000
If that chick wants to fight at 135, prove you can make 135. I've been saying this, but you guys jumped all over me.
00:10:31.000
I like Rousey Holm and Cyborg Misha on the same card.
00:10:35.000
Yes, because the fans really don't know Cyborg.
00:10:39.000
And if she goes in there and mops Misha Tate, which I don't think she does, I think she loses to Misha.
00:10:44.000
She could easily lose to Misha at 135. I think she does.
00:10:48.000
Not only that, it's a different animal now because no IVs.
00:10:52.000
Oh, and if you get caught with IV, two-year ban, homie.
00:11:10.000
Did he address the fact that it's dangerous for the fighters?
00:11:12.000
Well, he said, there's actually some studies that show that it's more effective to rehydrate with water, with drinking it orally.
00:11:25.000
He goes, that's for the average person who's dehydrated.
00:11:44.000
He busted, well, sort of busted Barry Bonds, because Barry Bonds got...
00:11:47.000
That was one thing we found out after the podcast.
00:11:56.000
He was making out some big message they were sending to the children.
00:12:03.000
We're talking about adult professional athletes.
00:12:08.000
Well, what they were doing was they were trying to prosecute.
00:12:14.000
Someone tells them to prosecute, and they have to prosecute.
00:12:16.000
What's up with that girl's shorts, by the way, on the left?
00:12:27.000
What I never understood was why Congress cared about steroids.
00:12:37.000
Well, that's the funniest thing about the congressional thing, was listening to Joe Biden talk about how back when he was an athlete...
00:12:53.000
George Bush mentioned steroids in the State of the Union.
00:12:56.000
People always forget that Joe Biden's a plagiarist, by the way.
00:13:04.000
He plagiarized Kennedy's speeches when he was running for president back in 88. When we were at Stitch's Comedy Club in Boston, we used to do a Joe Biden night in the 80s, where comics would go up.
00:13:14.000
Like, I would do your material, you would do my material.
00:13:19.000
Now, how does someone like that, how does someone like that, and someone like Hillary Clinton, forget about the email stuff, but all the stuff she did with Bill Clinton with that Whitewater stuff?
00:13:34.000
You need to read the book, The Strange Death of Vince Foster.
00:13:37.000
Vince Foster was one of the people that was involved in the Whitewater scandal.
00:13:46.000
Had the gun still in his hand, which never fucking happens.
00:13:51.000
Every single expert will tell you, when you shoot yourself in the head, your body goes, wah!
00:14:09.000
They don't want to just kill a body and have them disappear.
00:14:19.000
Eddie Bravo just went into fucking conspiracy mode.
00:14:30.000
How about Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush are both candidates for the presidency of the United States?
00:14:35.000
This is how much Eddie Bravo loves conspiracies.
00:14:39.000
This girl's in full guard, and he's not even talking about jiu-jitsu.
00:14:43.000
If she went up to Michigan draw, shut the fuck up.
00:14:54.000
I don't see why after that Ben Saunders fight, everybody's not doing that.
00:15:08.000
If they don't make that decision to stick that into training, let's work a little bit on this elbows from Mission Control.
00:15:17.000
She's trying to wrap her leg and stick her foot underneath the armpit of Letourneau, who's on the bottom or on the top.
00:15:22.000
Dude, I wish she gave up on him, but look, she keeps driving.
00:15:29.000
All she's got to do is squeeze her legs, leg curls, pull the head.
00:15:39.000
Laterno thinks she's safe by tucking her arm under like that.
00:15:49.000
I wish in between rounds they'd have highlights.
00:15:55.000
Like, just a quick highlight in between rounds.
00:16:07.000
She just keeps her head down, chin down, just pow, pow!
00:16:11.000
I think, and I'm beginning to listen to Nick Curzon about this, I think a giant part of what holds fighters back is strength and conditioning.
00:16:20.000
I used to think that it's more important to work on skills than anything, and I think up to a certain point it is, but now I think what holds these people back is like Letourneau right now.
00:16:30.000
I see a slower fighter than I saw in the first round.
00:16:33.000
I see some significant slowing, and she's having a hard time executing.
00:16:42.000
You should focus more on strength condition and get in shape so you can show your skills for three rounds, 15 minutes.
00:16:47.000
In the first minute, two minutes of a fight, it's all about your skills.
00:16:50.000
But then as fights go on, it's all about how much conditioning do you have in the tank to use those skills.
00:16:57.000
How quickly you can recover and can your body recover multiple times?
00:17:01.000
And you'd think at an elite level they would be able to go 25 minutes.
00:17:15.000
When we saw Dos Anjos fight Pettis, that motherfucker kept that same pace for five rounds.
00:17:22.000
Dude, look at Demetrius Johnson against Ali Bagatinov.
00:17:25.000
Ali Bagatinov was on EPO! And he outworked that motherfucker.
00:17:33.000
You think TJ Dillashaw, Mighty Mouse would happen?
00:17:41.000
Mighty Mouse has fought 135. He fought Dominic Cruz.
00:17:45.000
I think that T.J. Dillshaw is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world.
00:17:48.000
I think that fight with Hennon Burrell was like a wake-up call to everybody.
00:17:51.000
He beat the fucking shit out of Hennon Burrell.
00:17:54.000
What's next for T.J.? He beat the fucking shit out of him.
00:18:19.000
At 135 pounds, traditionally, especially in boxing, once you hit the 30s...
00:18:27.000
You rely on speed and reflexes more than anybody.
00:18:43.000
He knocked out TJ. People don't forget about that.
00:18:50.000
Totally different TJ. There's TJ pre and post bang.
00:18:56.000
It's tough, man, because no one loves fighting more than us, right?
00:19:07.000
Like, I'm not like, ooh, I can't fucking wait to see them throw down.
00:19:29.000
He's the most talented guy in the UFC. It's just people, it's hard for people to jump on board on a small guy.
00:19:37.000
He's the frickin' multi-time world champion of the UFC. They thought he was 15?
00:19:43.000
No, there was just a lot of people that didn't know who he was.
00:19:54.000
He needs a couple more good fights like Dodson.
00:19:59.000
He needs a Conor McGregor, a 125. Pearson Felder?
00:20:18.000
He went the distance with him and Barboza was kicking the shit out of his body.
00:20:22.000
That switch kick is the fastest switch kick I've ever seen in my life.
00:20:28.000
Remember Jamie Varner was talking about how before, and he beat him, but before that he was the most scared he's ever been before a fight?
00:20:38.000
When Joe Silva calls him and said, you want Barboza?
00:20:41.000
There's a couple guys where you get that call and you're like, oh shit, I guess I'll take it.
00:20:45.000
Think about that Terry Edom fight with that wheel kick to the head, first wheel kick KO in the UFC. And then you gotta fight him next?
00:20:52.000
His kicks, he's the only guy to ever stop two fighters with leg kicks.
00:20:57.000
Mike Lulo and Rafael Oliveira, both with leg kicks.
00:20:59.000
I'm not going to rat the guy out, but super high-level guy.
00:21:03.000
My manager goes, Brendan, I want you in on this call.
00:21:56.000
Yeah, that's the thing about the UFC and MMA in general.
00:22:00.000
Like, there's a lot of fighters that they jump into the UFC, and they're starting to have some success.
00:22:05.000
Well, there's a very short climb until you're in world-class territory, and if you beat one of those motherfuckers...
00:22:16.000
I thought Chris Tush's shirt and they're like, oh cool, here's Gonzaga.
00:22:33.000
It's about ice and there's a black puck, I think they call it.
00:22:37.000
You gotta get it in the net and when they do it, you can go crazy.
00:22:39.000
And live, when you see it live, it's incredible.
00:22:57.000
Hey, give me one of them beers there, Mr. Callum.
00:23:05.000
Eddie, we got the bet on the main event or what, bro?
00:23:17.000
The people listening to this don't know what we're talking about.
00:23:20.000
Because we had this discussion before the podcast.
00:24:00.000
I've just been thinking about getting a new laptop.
00:24:10.000
Anyway, so the suggestion is that it's possible that Eric Silva may or may not have been...
00:24:22.000
God, all I know is I'm getting on the old TRT. I hate to tell you you're still not going to look like that.
00:24:28.000
I won't have his hair, I'll tell you that much.
00:24:30.000
You're already 80. You should have done that in the 60s.
00:25:03.000
Either way, Eddie, you can't back out now, brother.
00:25:06.000
I got Neil Magny, he took the fight on two-week notice.
00:25:11.000
I think Eddie is allowed to back off before the fight actually starts.
00:25:42.000
He's a ferocious guy, and he expends a lot of energy.
00:25:45.000
When you fight a guy like Matt Brown, that shit is not recommended.
00:25:51.000
If you had to bet, who would you take right now?
00:25:53.000
I like Magny in that fight because I think Magny is more consistent, and Magny has great endurance, and Magny's only problem that is shown inside the octagon at all is dealing with Damian motherfucking Maia, who is a constrictor.
00:26:09.000
And this fucking giant anaconda's wrapping its body around you and squeezing it tight.
00:26:14.000
Well, who do you have in the main event, Eddie?
00:26:34.000
I don't want to take a thousand dollars from a good friend, but I'll bet you 20 bucks just so I could win.
00:26:43.000
Well, how about we get out of here and you pay?
00:27:03.000
Because my boss, I have to check in with the boss.
00:27:23.000
But don't get me wrong, Max Holloway can win, and I would not be surprised.
00:27:35.000
I think that Oliveira is a little more tactical, both standing up and on the ground.
00:27:45.000
Double or nothing, I'll forget about the Eric Silva.
00:27:59.000
He's not going to look the same, you're saying?
00:28:07.000
He actually dropped down from 55 to 45. Yeah, he's shredded always.
00:28:17.000
We'll do double or nothing, and I'll stick with Holloway.
00:28:19.000
Well, let's, before we, before I ask you this question, before I ask you this question, before I ask you this question, let's think about the possibility of the MMA media blowing us out of proportion, because they always do.
00:28:35.000
The last fight companion we had had like seven different articles.
00:28:42.000
I snapshot it, sent it to the rogue and went, oh shit.
00:28:48.000
What percentage of the Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighters or Brazilian MMA fighters you think are on steroids?
00:29:08.000
So you think it's 90% of all the MMA fighters are on steroids?
00:29:12.000
What Brazilians do you think are not on steroids?
00:29:25.000
Brandon, why do you look like you've seen a ghost?
00:29:31.000
How do you think we knew the Ronda thing last time?
00:29:38.000
No, seriously, I feel really, really bad for that.
00:29:45.000
The understated thing about the steroids is the mental aspect.
00:29:47.000
These fighters aren't coming out as aggressive.
00:29:50.000
Silva's a destroyer normally, but let's say he was on TRT. What's he going to be now?
00:29:58.000
People rely on that testosterone for aggression.
00:30:03.000
Pride is the Killers were like, that's the better show than the UFC athletes.
00:30:07.000
They all came and got beat up by guys that weren't top-tier guys in the UFC. Every one of those Pride athletes.
00:30:23.000
Not only that, these guys weren't doing it properly, I'm sure.
00:30:26.000
They didn't take enough time to recover and get their natural test level, so they were probably compromised.
00:30:31.000
So not only were they not on steroids, they were compromised.
00:30:33.000
Because when you look at some of those guys in Pride, we don't need to name names.
00:30:38.000
But when they came over, they looked physically different.
00:30:48.000
I mean, you look at some of the fights that he had, the wear and tear, there's a lot going on, but he just was a different guy when he came to.
00:30:55.000
You could probably look at the amount of high kicks he threw before and after, and it's just he wasn't aggressive enough when he came back.
00:31:22.000
Look at some of the videos of him hitting pads.
00:31:29.000
Right when I got to Thailand, right when I landed, the thing that I tripped out on the most is everybody.
00:31:33.000
I'm in a taxi, and we're getting driven to Tiger Muay Thai, and everybody's on little scooters.
00:31:39.000
Like four people per scooter, kids, they're holding their kids and everyone's riding scooters.
00:31:48.000
I end up at Roger Huerta's house a couple nights later.
00:31:52.000
We're hanging out, chilling, and there's like four of us and they said, let's go to the party town down the street.
00:32:07.000
So I drove, Roger Werther drove me in a scooter, and I'm sitting behind him in a scooter 45 minutes through the hills.
00:32:35.000
I'm telling you, Tony Simms boxing is fucking nasty.
00:32:47.000
You need to have earphones on so you hear how retarded you sound.
00:32:54.000
Is there meat you could eat that can get you the similar effects as steroids?
00:32:59.000
If you just eat nothing but rhino meat or something?
00:33:05.000
Asians will pick up on it and there'll be no rhino blood.
00:33:13.000
Oh, you can't eat moose anymore, because it turns out moose shrinks your bones.
00:33:18.000
There's some stuff that has IGF-1 in it, you know, that you can get, but like really good deer antler will have IGF-1 in it.
00:33:36.000
Do that thing with the antlers there's a guy who ran an elk farm up in Alberta and He got an elk farm just for the deer antler shit.
00:33:46.000
It would take the velvet velvet And the velvet, and the velvet has IGF-1.
00:33:50.000
You spray it in your mouth, and it gives you a benefit, like, similar to taking growth hormone.
00:34:00.000
Whether it became too easy to get real growth hormone, or people just stopped using it.
00:34:05.000
I don't know what the fuck happened, but this guy's stuck with a bunch of elk on his land.
00:34:09.000
Every now and then he wanders out there and shoots one and eats it.
00:34:15.000
Yeah, it's just not the most efficient way to do it.
00:34:17.000
IGF-1 isn't legal anyways, and so, like, what's the point?
00:34:21.000
Is it legal to take that, if you take that deer antler shit, you can test positive?
00:34:25.000
So, the trick is, is that if you test it and show that it has IGF-1, then it's not illegal.
00:34:30.000
So, you have to do it untested, and then you don't know whether it's got it in there or not.
00:34:37.000
Well, you're not really allowed to sell IGF-1 over the counter, right?
00:34:41.000
So if you standardize the elk antler to make sure that it has IGF-1, then it's not legal, as far as I understand when I looked into it.
00:34:49.000
So even though it's still just a natural product that contains...
00:34:56.000
I mean, you could sell it, but it's not approved as a dietary supplement.
00:35:00.000
So it would be illegal, but you wouldn't test for it.
00:35:02.000
So you could sell antler, but you don't test for it.
00:35:05.000
But then the consumer doesn't know if it's bullshit antler.
00:35:09.000
Does it have to be new antler, like the velvet on the new antler or something?
00:35:16.000
Unless you have a female that grows antlers, which is very rare.
00:35:23.000
How did they figure there's IGF-1 in the antlers?
00:35:30.000
Some fucking country axe-swinging redneck was just eating antlers.
00:35:47.000
I'd have to do a little research and go deeper on that.
00:36:16.000
That's why they tried to test, it was Venus or Serena.
00:36:20.000
She ran into her fucking safe, she had a safe house, safe room in her house in case her house got home invaded.
00:36:26.000
She ran into her safe room and called the cops on the fucking drug testers.
00:36:34.000
Dude, after talking to Nowitzki and talking to the two guys that I've talked to, what's his face, from Balco, Victor Conte and Nowitzki, I am convinced that there's just a giant percentage of professional athletes that are on steroids and You need to talk to them to figure that out,
00:36:52.000
You really need to find out what the methods are.
00:36:55.000
They have testosterone now that they're making with animals.
00:36:59.000
So now the carbon isotope test that they used to catch people that were taking plant-based testosterone doesn't work anymore.
00:37:07.000
So now this guy's going to be on this animal-based testosterone.
00:37:13.000
I mean, I can't believe they get testosterone from yams.
00:37:17.000
You should probably pull out your phone and Google it and explain it to us all.
00:37:24.000
They're doing four-hour doses, a dose that only stays in your system for four hours.
00:37:34.000
It's not going to be long until they can clone your pituitary and just have it pumping out your own hormones.
00:37:39.000
Yeah, I want some more from my spare pituitary over there.
00:37:42.000
Yeah, people get a second pituitary gland stalled in their head.
00:37:52.000
Yeah, you get your spleen removed, replace it with a pituitary gland.
00:37:56.000
Did he say anything about the long-term effects?
00:37:57.000
It doesn't seem like there's any evidence that microdosing testosterone is bad for you.
00:38:07.000
The problem with things that your body doesn't know what to do with is toxicity, liver toxicity.
00:38:12.000
You know, there's a lot of issues with all sorts of different substances like EPO that cause strokes.
00:38:18.000
Like, when you take an EPO, your body's producing way more fucking red blood cells than it's supposed to.
00:38:30.000
EPO, though, they're talking about the bike riders wake up in the middle of the night because their blood's so thick.
00:38:38.000
Yeah, they would wake up and ride their bike in the middle of the night.
00:38:42.000
Because they had to get rid of the blood cells?
00:38:46.000
The blood's so thick you have to wear yourself out and you have to do workouts and drink a lot of water in the middle of the night.
00:38:52.000
They would set their alarm so they'd get up every few hours and work out.
00:38:55.000
I heard a heart surgeon talk about one of the easiest things you can do.
00:38:58.000
There are some studies that suggest that giving blood once a year actually is the best thing you can do to avoid stroke.
00:39:06.000
And the reason women, they think, have less stroke and less heart disease, it might be because they bleed once a month.
00:39:13.000
So what happens is you, I guess, your blood actually literally gets thinner.
00:39:18.000
Man, that was some rationale for leeches back in the day.
00:39:21.000
Well, no, but I mean, in fact, as this heart surgeon was talking about it, it was really fascinating.
00:39:25.000
He goes, you know what you can do to increase your, I guess, lower your cholesterol and especially give blood?
00:39:50.000
Yeah, they're just having a hard time keeping this guy off of him.
00:39:54.000
He wants nothing in the stand-up game with him.
00:40:08.000
It's gonna be weird when they come up with all these fucking genetic manipulations that they're working on right now.
00:40:14.000
They think China's already got myostatin inhibitors in place for their athletes.
00:40:21.000
Yeah, they think they're already experimenting on it.
00:40:22.000
They got someone locked up in a mountain somewhere and they got some fucking dude who's got triple muscle and is gonna live to be 190. That's awesome.
00:40:32.000
That's what happened to those mice when they ran those tests on those myostatin inhibitors in mice.
00:40:38.000
They got all this muscle on them, and they lived longer.
00:41:01.000
There'll be a time when we choose bodies like cars.
00:41:05.000
We just insert consciousness into whatever body we want.
00:41:10.000
Yeah, they'll always switch it up, though, you know?
00:41:13.000
They'll come out with a new model, and that'll be hot for a while.
00:41:18.000
How long, 500 years, where they could pull your consciousness out and put it into Tate's body?
00:41:29.000
We're going to be able to have chips, and you're going to be able to live your life, and then give me a chip at the end of the day, and I'm like, what'd you do today?
00:41:37.000
Plug it into me, and I'll live the life of Eddie Bravo for a day.
00:41:40.000
I'm like, bro, check out this chick I hooked up with.
00:41:44.000
You can sell your dreams, you know what I mean?
00:41:47.000
Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of weird shit going on in the next 100, 200 years.
00:41:51.000
There's one thing though with that novelty of like being able to choose your body or whatever it is, it's like one of the things I think that people appreciate, it's like, is hard work.
00:42:00.000
Is people meriting what it is and like if there's no merit to it, what's the value of it?
00:42:08.000
I mean, it's a thing because like outside of the physical realm, there's a whole entire other conversation to have with that.
00:42:14.000
At what time do we get tired of the novelty for something with substance?
00:42:17.000
Our entire paradigm is built on that, on struggle.
00:42:23.000
Doesn't substance come from who you are, though?
00:42:28.000
If you could be a 12-year-old boy right now, would you be?
00:42:40.000
They caught a second guy pretending to be black.
00:42:42.000
Did you see that guy who identified as being an amputee and thought that's what he was and then he cut off his arm?
00:42:55.000
It also flies in the face of all this stuff about like, oh, we're all born equal.
00:43:06.000
No, we don't all start at the same starting line.
00:43:19.000
And some of us have hands, and some of us don't want hands.
00:43:23.000
Well, a lot of it, like the amputee you're talking about, a lot of it's mental disease, right?
00:43:28.000
Like I was talking with Brian, how about child molesters?
00:43:54.000
But there was an article recently that was talking about people that have a natural, like, inclination towards pedophilia.
00:44:03.000
And that it's something that is hardwired into their brain.
00:44:07.000
And they were trying to make this argument along those same lines as someone being transgender.
00:44:11.000
And I was like, whoa, this is a fucking very tricky argument.
00:44:16.000
Because if you start giving people the green light to be pedophiles in any way, shape, or form, there's a lot of people going to jump on that.
00:44:29.000
Look, there's no science behind transgender, either.
00:44:33.000
There's no science where people are saying people are absolutely born a woman trapped in a man's body, but socially we are all accepting that now.
00:44:40.000
If you can prove that it's neurological, then what it classifies as is disability.
00:44:46.000
Now, we all agree we don't want those people near children, but the question becomes twofold.
00:44:51.000
All of us, before punishment, the most important thing is that they don't molest children.
00:44:57.000
So the question becomes, do you give them safe haven to talk about it, go get help, figure out how to cure it, whatever it might be?
00:45:05.000
You have to trust them deeply to not do anything about it, not to act on their urges.
00:45:09.000
It's like trusting a guy who lives in an island of hot chicks to not fuck.
00:45:13.000
No, no, you keep them very far away from children.
00:45:18.000
So are you going to take them in jail if they have a certain gene, or are you going to wait until they act?
00:45:23.000
So most important is if they do find it's neurological, maybe there's a way to cure that or block the gene eventually.
00:45:33.000
Well, what they find is it might very well be...
00:45:35.000
Most pedophiles, in a strange way, are left-handed.
00:45:39.000
But for the most part, there is a lot of evidence that suggests it could be neurological.
00:45:50.000
But as we learn more about brain science, you're just finding more and more that sometimes this is a form of, quote-unquote, brain damage or mental illness or whatever.
00:45:58.000
Well, the brain doesn't come out perfect every time.
00:46:01.000
Sims is on top here, landing some fucking hammers, man.
00:46:11.000
You see that there's a big difference in what they can generate, the amount of power they can in short distances with ground and pound.
00:46:18.000
You see that with Krokop in that Gonzaga fight?
00:46:29.000
The same with Tony Ferguson or little John Dodson, man.
00:46:35.000
Oh, speaking of which, Ferguson's gonna fight Khabib.
00:46:49.000
That's a great, especially when you see what Ferguson's been fucking doing to people lately.
00:46:53.000
It's going to be interesting to see Nygamurdov because he's been hurt for a grip.
00:47:05.000
It's going to be interesting to see him because he had so much time off.
00:47:30.000
You know, when a guy goes against a guy who's just better than him at Jiu Jitsu, there's a certain amount of recognition that the guy's better and you don't try for certain shit.
00:47:38.000
Like you get big brothered a little bit or something.
00:47:43.000
But then you go for a sub and you're like, fuck, I'm not really going to get this.
00:47:50.000
Ultimate Fighter, September 9th, Aldo and my boy, Uriah Faber.
00:47:58.000
I don't know about the Ultimate Fighter format.
00:48:02.000
Well, they're banking on Conor bringing the views now, right?
00:48:04.000
Like, they're doing whatever they can to get the views back up.
00:48:20.000
If Aldo gets hurt again, they easily could have that fight.
00:48:28.000
It's a great backup, for sure, if Aldo gets hurt.
00:48:30.000
Especially if they can somehow generate some respectable ratings.
00:48:43.000
Yeah, and there's, you know, depending on what is actually going on when it comes to PEDs over there, who knows?
00:49:04.000
Well, there's without a doubt a certain amount of people that have been on the PEDs.
00:49:13.000
I'm not going to not talk about it as a speculation.
00:49:17.000
And especially after talking to Nowitzki and talking to many, many, many, many, many fighters and managers and trainers.
00:49:37.000
Tim got, I think he got tested yesterday or the day before.
00:49:39.000
No, I asked him if that was UFC. It wasn't UFC. Really?
00:49:43.000
Because Tim had piss bottles up and he was like...
00:49:48.000
No, because he put that out and goes, UFC still hasn't tested me.
00:49:56.000
And the question is, too, not even who's currently on steroids, but who's on the live roster that's moving that has been?
00:50:04.000
There's guys that are cycling in and out all the time, and really I think the question Eddie asked about who's not?
00:50:12.000
Who's never done that that's signed under that contract that gets that check?
00:50:16.000
Yeah, that was that weird moment in the Anderson Silva press conference where they said, is this the first time you've ever been tested at a competition?
00:50:24.000
And they're like, fuck, the one time they pop you.
00:50:27.000
The only time you've ever been tested at a competition they pop you.
00:50:36.000
Bas Rutten was going over it and he said that he changed his story three times.
00:50:51.000
But Viagra is a performance enhancing drug and it is illegal.
00:50:54.000
Because Viagra actually does enhance your body.
00:50:58.000
It's like a very extreme version of nitric oxide.
00:51:10.000
I took a Cialis and did jujitsu to see what it was like.
00:51:31.000
He takes your back and he's like, that's exactly what you think it is, motherfucker.
00:51:43.000
And what could you do if you got the guy's back with your hooks in?
00:51:45.000
Just find a happy space in the wall and stare at it until he's done.
00:51:54.000
Just realize that there's a pecking order and he's the alpha.
00:51:57.000
It's amazing to me that those metal cups are not illegal in the UFC. Well, if you kick one, you break your foot.
00:52:16.000
Even if you're a guy's on top and half guard and grinding.
00:52:24.000
Amir Renovati mounted me once and he put the grapevines in and he had a...
00:52:40.000
When you were training and there's a new guy, there are always kickboxers or boxers that came in that wanted to try jiu-jitsu.
00:52:48.000
I never really knew jiu-jitsu guys that would wear cups.
00:52:51.000
But now, back then, it was guys that came in from kickboxing.
00:52:55.000
The way I train is I put shorts on, I get my shoes on, and I put my cup on.
00:52:59.000
That's the same way they would come onto the mats.
00:53:02.000
How many guys fight and they have like cups that are loose in their jockstrap.
00:53:15.000
You'd have to be fucking crazy to wear anything else other than a tie cup.
00:53:26.000
You let that fucking three-piece set, that baby bird just flop around.
00:53:44.000
I would only wear one like a week or two weeks before a fight to get used to it because I was going to wear it at the fight.
00:53:50.000
But I would never, never, ever wear it at training or anything.
00:53:52.000
I never wore it at training once until I was rolling with Einstein.
00:53:55.000
He was trying to pass my guard and he shoved his knee right into my dick.
00:54:00.000
And I got out of the class, and I took my jockstrap off, and it was filled with blood.
00:54:12.000
And I was trying to figure out if I should go to the hospital.
00:54:15.000
And I figured, well, if it was my nose when I go to the hospital, no.
00:54:18.000
So I said, all right, let me just go home and see.
00:54:26.000
I jerked off, and it came out like one of those chickens.
00:54:31.000
You ever get a chicken that's got an embryo in it?
00:54:36.000
So I pissed and came blood for three or four days, but it never hurt.
00:54:43.000
I kind of feel like under that scrutiny of, hmm, if it were my nose, my cock is so much more important than my nose.
00:54:49.000
You say that, but if you don't have a nose, good luck using your cock.
00:54:53.000
If your nose is missing, no one's gonna suck your dick.
00:54:59.000
This fucking Skeletor dude with his giant dick, get out of here.
00:55:10.000
You know, it's that pass where someone's trying to slice the knee through, and he just made a mistake.
00:55:18.000
It was only one time it happened after who knows how many years of training, but that was it for me, dog.
00:55:27.000
Well, I probably would have absorbed it better.
00:55:30.000
Like, you ever have a girl riding you and then slips out and then lands on it?
00:55:43.000
I talked to that guy in a wheelchair after it happened, and he told me exactly what happened and how his dick broke in half from a girl riding him.
00:56:03.000
I know a guy who got kicked in the nuts from fighting, and then his testosterone went, got really low, later on in his life.
00:56:10.000
And the doctor said, it's probably because, because one ball was bigger than the other, because it never swelled and never went down.
00:56:16.000
The doctor said, you injured your nuts fighting, and that's why, that's probably why your testosterone...
00:56:22.000
There was one of the guys who was fighting for the UFC who was...
00:56:25.000
Training, and he went to a spar with a buddy, and he just didn't bother putting his cup on because we're just gonna move around light.
00:56:38.000
He got kicked in the ball, and he was just like, pfft, dying, no more ball.
00:56:45.000
You just do, you take a cheesecloth, you wrap it up.
00:56:54.000
You see those, like, spectacles where they have some guy who gets kicked in the nuts, like, really hard, like a kung fu guy who just stands out?
00:57:01.000
Well, I figured out what he's doing, because occasionally when I'm having sex, like, one ball will find a hiding place.
00:57:15.000
They just go backstage and they just hide their balls above the bone.
00:57:19.000
Fight Science did a study on it and they said that actually...
00:57:24.000
But they said that their balls actually develop calcium deposits.
00:57:31.000
So their balls actually get super hard from trauma.
00:57:34.000
I feel like Red Band's not even here, and I feel like, oh, Brian.
00:57:42.000
We need a highlight reel of the ultimate ball shots.
00:57:51.000
I'll tell you what, that Frank Mir-Todd Duffy fight was crazy.
00:57:59.000
Couldn't take a punch at all, then fights Soapoleli and he's back.
00:58:05.000
Bro, I don't like that rematch with Bigfoot-Mark Hunt.
00:58:15.000
I'm sorry, but I thought Andrzejewski was fighting for the title.
00:58:23.000
I think it was going to either be Dos Anjos or Dos Santos, rather.
00:58:31.000
I don't know why they don't do Dos Santos-Overeem.
00:58:39.000
When he stopped Travis Brown, god damn he's back.
00:58:45.000
You know, the guy had some confidence problems, he got KO'd a bunch of times, but at the end of the day, that guy is a vicious fucking striker.
00:58:56.000
Well, watch this fight with Karatanov in Strikeforce.
00:59:00.000
You watch that fight and you're like, this fight's over.
00:59:19.000
I mean, Mirrors, there was no coming back from that.
00:59:29.000
Yeah, yeah, you just got to think about just a few years ago.
00:59:32.000
He was like, what is he, one out of his last six?
00:59:35.000
How about when Josh Barnett crushed him just like two years ago?
00:59:39.000
Josh Barnett crushed him two years ago, and now he's on the verge of a title shot.
00:59:46.000
Trinaldo fought 185 at Ultimate Fighter in Brazil, and now he's 155. Hmm.
00:59:58.000
The IV thing doesn't start to October, correct?
01:00:02.000
That's why this December fight with Aldo is going to be real problematic for Mr. McGregor.
01:00:06.000
Because Mr. McGregor cuts a fuckload of weight.
01:00:16.000
Well, you know, that's the conversation that I had with...
01:00:19.000
Nowitzki, I was like, they have to add weight classes.
01:00:22.000
But the UFC doesn't want to add weight classes because they think it waters down the sport.
01:00:43.000
If you were fighting, you wouldn't be fine with it.
01:00:44.000
No, I know, maybe for the fighters it could be better, but for the sport, we have enough weight classes.
01:00:48.000
No, I'm with Joe, man, because a lot of these guys, look at heavyweight, 206 or 265, it's fucking insane!
01:01:00.000
As an audience member, I'm not talking about the fighters, I'm talking about spectators.
01:01:07.000
You do, though, because what about a guy like Chris Weidman?
01:01:16.000
He's killing himself to get 85. He needs to, in between camps, maybe not blow up as much.
01:01:28.000
Then he should fight 205. What if he fought at 200?
01:01:31.000
He's a champ at 185. What if his optimal weight's 200?
01:01:34.000
What if his optimal weight to perform's at 200?
01:01:43.000
The heavyweight class, that argument, that is ridiculous.
01:01:48.000
Especially when the heavyweights are so poor, there's six really great heavyweights, and then the rest is just hard to get guys that are that big that are really moving the envelope like that.
01:02:03.000
And so if you had a weight class that started at 230 that was reasonable, to have a guy that's like a Frank Mirsai that's not super huge and have a guy fight a 300-pound man on the day, whoa!
01:02:13.000
To Joe's point, do you care if Conor McGregor and Aldo fought at 150?
01:02:24.000
I want to see the best fighter at the best weight.
01:02:29.000
I'd rather see Aldo, if Aldo fights better and faster and longer and with more intensity at 155, I'd rather see that.
01:02:38.000
Force fights more instead of going, well, I'm in this weight class and I'm in this weight class.
01:02:42.000
Well, you could see more super fights where people meet in the middle for a belt.
01:02:54.000
When you beat the best guys, you're the best fighter.
01:02:56.000
This idea of the champion, I just think at a certain point in time, who cares?
01:03:01.000
If Aldo has the belt, look, McGregor has, let's be honest, McGregor has an illegitimate belt.
01:03:09.000
I mean, we call it the interim belt, but Aldo defended his title a year ago.
01:03:13.000
Stripping a guy because he can't get through a camp without getting injured is a part of MMA. It's always been a part of MMA. But because of the marketing, because of the hype behind it, because of the huge event, the enormity, the economics of the event, they decide to make it an interim fight.
01:03:34.000
So it becomes this big thing that they have to get on a scale and they have to have a certain amount of mass in their body and then they rehydrate like crazy and do their best to get back up to whatever the fuck they really are.
01:03:50.000
The other thing that would be cool, if you didn't have belts like that, or you had a mitigated value to them, you could have catch fights for everybody.
01:03:58.000
You could go, okay, Jon Jones, what do you want to fight Weidman at?
01:04:03.000
You could do any of that stuff with every single fight, and then it would be real match-ups.
01:04:10.000
So fighting, the biggest thing is that it does become, if you're sucking inordinate amounts of weight, part of being a champion then has to be how good is your nutrition program, how good is your weight loss program, and that becomes a huge part of fighting when it probably shouldn't.
01:04:29.000
Because homeboy Jeff Novitski was saying that it takes 72 hours to rehydrate your brain.
01:04:41.000
So guys aren't killing themselves to make these weights.
01:04:44.000
I think the UFC is amazing and they're doing an amazing job to add this and add that.
01:04:51.000
It'd be funny if you took your mask off and you weren't Eddie and you were actually Dana.
01:04:57.000
There's so much good shit happening in the UFC, too much, that you can't even keep track of it to add more weight and then take away the belts?
01:05:07.000
They're saying all these reasons why more weight classes would be beneficial and not cutting weight would be beneficial.
01:05:31.000
We'd get better performances if they weren't killing themselves.
01:05:45.000
Screwy-ass, fucked-up judges and all that shit.
01:06:00.000
I love the fact that if you're a champion and...
01:06:04.000
Knowing that if you don't take this fight, if you try to back off for whatever reason, maybe you fake an injury, maybe you don't fake an injury, maybe you don't want to get busted with steroids.
01:06:14.000
Whatever it is, I think it's good for them to know that, hey, if you fuck around, we're going to strip that fucking belt.
01:06:26.000
It's nice to know that you can't do that shit anytime you want.
01:06:29.000
We're gonna take your fucking belt, and we're gonna make you guys fight.
01:06:32.000
Because if they're the champion, and the champion gets hurt in training, if they are clean, and they actually do get hurt, and they can't fight, you're just gonna take their belt?
01:06:55.000
We're having a fucking podcast because of this shit.
01:07:04.000
Is that an American black guy or is that a Brazilian black guy?
01:07:19.000
They got the jerseys color-coded, by the way, Eddie, so that'll give you a little heads up.
01:07:28.000
They should make them all wear the same shorts.
01:07:32.000
Has anybody worn, like, have you ever seen someone wearing, like, those Reebok fighter kits?
01:07:44.000
Oh, yeah, they had them all laid out in a locker.
01:07:58.000
The only kid I've ever seen was at Aubrey Marcus' house.
01:08:02.000
It was hanging in your closet, and I was like, oh, cool.
01:08:11.000
It'd be brutal if they made you give it up and then they sold it.
01:08:46.000
Yeah, I think it's the capital of Saskatchewan.
01:09:04.000
Man, I'm sad that Sam Stout got killed in the first round.
01:09:51.000
29, 28, 29, 28, 27, 30 for the Greek gentleman.
01:10:03.000
Dude, Sam Stout, though, that's heartbreaking, man.
01:10:11.000
Guys that have an iron chin, and then all of a sudden, they reach a certain point, they can't take it anymore.
01:10:19.000
You know, like a real legend, but always, always cut a lot of weight.
01:10:27.000
You know, like, you always train, always being hit.
01:10:32.000
You guys watch Ultimate Insider, the John Anik show?
01:10:37.000
Rashad was talking about how he used to train and how he trains now.
01:10:40.000
And they used to think that you had to beat yourself up so that, you know, you could be able to fight.
01:10:49.000
It's good in theory, but in actual practice, you just can't do that.
01:10:52.000
I think the thing is, I mean, the smart way, I think that there's only a few guys that are doing it, and I think Ronda probably does it, but the only good thing about sparring a lot is that it's not like you're staying sharp.
01:11:04.000
I think you're just learning you're tough, and you learn you can withstand stuff.
01:11:07.000
You're not getting better, but to hit mitts, to work on timing, all that stuff, I think after the first couple, three years of your fight, you don't need to spar ever.
01:11:17.000
Yeah, Tim Kennedy, we were talking about, and he goes, oh, I don't spar at all.
01:11:20.000
He goes, what I need to know, I can take a shot?
01:11:26.000
He goes, the only time we go live is when I'm inside the octagon.
01:11:40.000
Don't you pay a price, though, when you're going full and distance and, like, I don't know.
01:11:45.000
It doesn't make a difference in speed, distance, and defense.
01:11:47.000
Well, when you've been doing it for that long, do you really, you know what I'm saying?
01:11:56.000
You know, the guys that are holding mitts for these guys on the top are the fucking finest fighters in the world that are now holding mitts for guys.
01:12:02.000
I mean, you look at, like, a Bang Ludwig or a Mike Winklejohn that's holding mitts, a Brandon Gibson.
01:12:15.000
I'd go into the gym, and he'd be in, and it'd be early in the morning, and he'll hold knits, and like, and I'd hear, whoop, [...
01:12:22.000
Like, just somebody beating the fuck out of a bag.
01:12:35.000
Like, compare him to somebody power-wise, like a Melvin?
01:12:46.000
You're looking at him and I go, what's your workout?
01:12:48.000
He goes, I'm doing nine minute rounds and it's just non-stop.
01:13:05.000
They go, dude, you need to see that guy kick the bag.
01:13:14.000
He's one of the toughest, kindest, most gracious dudes ever.
01:13:18.000
Well, he's the one training Holly Holmes, right?
01:13:31.000
Let's try not to talk over each other, though, because we've got a lot of mics going on.
01:13:38.000
The Holly Holm fight is not as intriguing to me as Amanda Nunes would be.
01:13:43.000
I would just like to see Holly get maybe another one or two warm-ups, because we've seen her in the octagon, and she's just not putting it together yet to get to that level of Ronda.
01:14:05.000
That's another thing, another drawback, I think, to being such a fine boxer in that arena.
01:14:17.000
Maybe Holly, because her stand-up is so much more refined, she's been doing it for so much longer, maybe she can keep Ronda away from her.
01:14:27.000
I just think, honestly, the real problem is there's a lack of talent.
01:14:32.000
Like I said, I'm not mad at the UFC. I get it, man.
01:14:35.000
Let's at least let the world know who Holly is.
01:15:15.000
Seriously, though, I wondered what happened to MC Hammer.
01:15:25.000
Money for gold or whatever is one of his deals.
01:15:45.000
And you left the house, and today I'm going to go see...
01:15:49.000
No, he's got all those big sponsors that everyone's giving me shit for.
01:16:03.000
That was the funniest thing I've ever said, dude.
01:16:19.000
Can you imagine the numbers he does in the Congo?
01:16:30.000
Notice I'm doing things that no one can do in the fight because they don't have the grip.
01:16:38.000
This is three years since he became a black belt today.
01:16:43.000
Damn, he had that piece of tape in his fucking collar.
01:16:52.000
I think the girls in the game, too, right now, they've got to realize they've got way more power than they think because there is such a small amount of them that are valuable as talented fighters.
01:17:06.000
When you're looking at women to fight Ronda, Holly Holmes is the baddest woman walking, I think.
01:17:13.000
I think it's early for her, whatever, whatever.
01:17:22.000
So Rhonda could fight, my mom could fight Rhonda at UFC 192 and they'd still sell as many pay-per-views.
01:17:31.000
Bech Correa, America doesn't know who the fuck she is.
01:17:38.000
It's like Roy Jones when he was in his prime and he was just starching everybody.
01:17:49.000
She's going to have to do like a judo match during the day and then have like an MMA fight at night.
01:17:56.000
He played basketball the day of a world title defense.
01:18:05.000
And then went out and whooped some ass at night.
01:18:07.000
You know, one of my favorite stories about that is John Jones chasing a guy down, a robber, a purse snatcher, in New York City.
01:18:13.000
Fucking runs him down, tackles him, retrieves the purse from the lady, holds the guy for the cops, and then goes, who's he not?
01:18:27.000
Someone's making that John Jones movie right now.
01:18:30.000
There's footage of him training at Jackson's right now.
01:18:33.000
Right away, right after he got in that trouble, Mr. Winklejohn was like, you're back in, help all the rest of the guys.
01:18:38.000
Whatever you're doing, you're doing, but help these guys.
01:18:49.000
Like, what's going to happen with him criminally?
01:19:02.000
Not only that, he was of mind to come back and get whatever he needed from his car and then leave again.
01:19:08.000
The problem with that is, I'm not saying you should lie, but there's a defense that you could always use in a car accident that you got hit so hard in the head you didn't know what the fuck you were doing.
01:19:19.000
No one could use that argument better than a guy like Jon Jones.
01:19:25.000
I don't know how long it takes for these things.
01:19:27.000
I hate to say this, but that's why they always say if you are in a situation and you're drunk, people in the know will run away from the scene.
01:19:38.000
Because you can say, I hit my head and I was disoriented.
01:19:45.000
The defense, and it wins, is I didn't know where I was, and I just...
01:19:52.000
The difference with this is that somebody was hurt makes it felonious.
01:19:55.000
If you're just leaving the scene, not as bad a deal as a drunk driving.
01:19:59.000
Hurting somebody, leaving the scene, way worse.
01:20:02.000
Dude, I love the fact you used the word felonious.
01:20:19.000
Come back, take Verdum's belt, and take fucking...
01:20:45.000
You've got the nicest jazz penis I've ever seen.
01:20:47.000
I went to the LA County Museum of Art the other day.
01:21:07.000
And there's some bullshit written on the wall what this box is supposed to represent.
01:21:19.000
There was a critic who said that the reason that those kinds of things sold for millions of dollars was because a small group of people who are modern art aficionados wanted to be and feel really exclusive.
01:21:38.000
There's a screen that has 18 different separate videos playing at the same time.
01:21:42.000
It's just people like throwing a ball to each other.
01:21:53.000
I was like, I can't believe you fucks made me look at this.
01:21:56.000
One of them was supposed to represent tar and feathering.
01:22:00.000
So it was like a black background with some feathers on it.
01:22:04.000
I'll fucking kill you if you put this in a museum.
01:22:08.000
I didn't have to pay either because I'm a fucking resident of LA County.
01:22:17.000
I told you, there's nothing more maddening than a modern art exhibit.
01:22:21.000
Especially the art that came out of the 60s and 70s.
01:22:33.000
And you go there and it's just garbage that they've glued in frames.
01:22:39.000
There's some place that they just opened where they opened it to a lot of street artists, and they just had blank walls in there, and they let that go, which I think has huge potential to be badass.
01:22:59.000
Oh, yeah, that he's never he is wicked red bands like red bands the one who really turned like He text me goes hey, dude cuz Justin boo his daughter trains at my school, and I don't know any artist I know Todd white.
01:23:15.000
Yeah, I'm not I'm not big in the artwork He's a painter of lots of shit, but he's known for painting hip-hop artists and doing weird-looking paintings of them that are insane.
01:23:37.000
Well, that's why Red Band should do his own podcast.
01:23:40.000
You have all these interests that I don't have in.
01:23:51.000
He has this thing called Dysentery, but it just gets girls on.
01:23:56.000
It's called The Sexual Harassment of Brian Redband.
01:23:59.000
What I'm saying is he should do like a show where he has guests on.
01:24:05.000
That's Squad TV? No, he doesn't have any single podcast that's like the Redband Show.
01:24:20.000
Well, he doesn't even act as an engineer on my show anymore.
01:24:25.000
You know, I think he's better off when he's not distracted by computers in front of him and all this stuff.
01:24:29.000
First of all, he's so ADD. He'll just start Googling things.
01:24:32.000
I'll catch him going on his Facebook and like, we're doing a show.
01:24:39.000
Like, if you go to dinner with him, he's like that.
01:24:41.000
But that's also why he's got so much information on stuff that's going on on the internet.
01:24:46.000
I mean, he'll tell you, look, I'm looking for things to talk about.
01:24:49.000
Like, yeah, but you've got to kind of like talk.
01:24:52.000
But we're in an actual conversation now, currently.
01:24:55.000
It's not his fault, but what I'm saying is he would probably recognize that more if he was doing his own show.
01:25:03.000
You only do my show like once or twice at the most a week.
01:25:21.000
I think it would help him so people could see what he's really all about.
01:25:31.000
And then, like, a guy like this guy, like this artist, or, you know, he would expose people to things that he's into, because he's in a lot of, I mean, I find out about a lot of stuff from him.
01:25:41.000
Well, that's the other thing, too, is if he was doing that, and he had a regular time, and he had to be true to somebody else, he invited a guest, it would hone his discipline, and if he did that...
01:25:56.000
I think that for almost everybody that is involved in stand-up comedy, doing your own podcast is a great idea.
01:26:04.000
Unless you don't need your Russell Peters or Louis CK, why bother?
01:26:08.000
You know, but for anybody else, like a guy like me, or for Bill Burr, I'm sure it's been gigantic for his career.
01:26:23.000
I just think more people should find what's true to them.
01:26:28.000
I know podcasts where guys work with other guys and they fucking wind up hating each other.
01:26:37.000
They had this great podcast together, but they couldn't keep it together together.
01:26:42.000
He's had three different ones like that, like Eddie's gone through.
01:26:48.000
Sometimes you want to talk and they're talking and sometimes you disagree and you don't want to discuss certain things or the things that you think are interesting they think are dumb and you get mad.
01:26:59.000
Well, that's one of the reasons why you guys work so well together.
01:27:00.000
You guys have interesting dynamics and you know when you say ridiculous shit that it's ridiculous and so you play along with it when everybody shits on you.
01:27:09.000
Because you're kind of semi-serious when you first bring things up and then you're not married to it and you realize along You've said, why does he just hit him with the right hand here?
01:27:25.000
No, clinically, I was reading a study, and it's a fact, actually.
01:27:29.000
That's like watching Sean Porter and George A. Moseley box, and I was like, I feel like I could navigate that kind of movement.
01:27:36.000
I literally think that sometimes because I'm watching it and I'm like, oh God.
01:27:39.000
And then your comedy turned into that same personality he was talking about.
01:27:44.000
You go out and you say, fuck, I wish I was a bad motherfucker.
01:28:00.000
I got Kote winning via TKL. Kote's Jiu-Jitsu has really improved.
01:28:08.000
I was really impressed with his takedowns and his Jiu-Jitsu in his last fight.
01:28:12.000
How about that he was the guy that went the longest with Anderson.
01:28:18.000
Well, he exposed a fundamental flaw in Anderson's game.
01:28:29.000
Choked out John Fitch in one round, put him to sleep.
01:28:33.000
Caught him in that guillotine, put him to sleep.
01:28:42.000
He doesn't want to fight in the UFC yet, correct?
01:28:44.000
Well, he fought Lombard, came in short notice, and wasn't feeling well for that fight either.
01:29:25.000
He also went through some significant injuries with his back.
01:29:31.000
He was talking to me about it, and I really didn't understand it, and I wanted to go more in-depth with him.
01:29:35.000
But he said he did, like, balance work, and, like, it was a lot of positive thinking.
01:29:45.000
The dude from Westside Barbell, he broke his back in, like, five different ways.
01:29:49.000
And Shane Sweat, he's one of his main instructors, he was saying that that's why he developed the reverse hyper machine.
01:30:09.000
Those guys talk about transfer of power, man, in a huge way.
01:30:12.000
When you see tip-tap boxing and all that stuff and what is making guys turn it over, that stuff is trained.
01:30:25.000
I've never seen anybody that is a pity-pat puncher become a bomber.
01:30:31.000
Nobody trains it either, but like a George Foreman guy, you don't have to train that shit.
01:30:35.000
There's guys you don't have to, but it doesn't mean that it's outside of the realm of others' possibility.
01:30:40.000
I mean, I think it has to do with your ability to cover distance in a very quick amount of time, but it also has to do with bone mass.
01:30:48.000
Bone mass is undeniable when it comes to punching.
01:30:49.000
It's not a weird secret that people with giant hands hit way fucking harder.
01:30:55.000
But even like you look at Little Dodson, he's not a huge guy by any means.
01:31:19.000
I thought he was going to get starched by Hector Lombard, a juiced up Hector Lombard, and he freaking rolled that thing out, man.
01:31:37.000
He's one of the toughest guys as far as his ability to take a shot and keep his confidence.
01:31:42.000
He looks like he's in a different weight class than Bergman.
01:31:49.000
He fought Tito in his first fight in the UFC. He knocked Tito down and surprised him a lot.
01:31:57.000
His grappling has really improved in a big way.
01:32:13.000
He doesn't know where he was when he threw that.
01:32:19.000
He's like, I'm over here trying to pretend I'm unfazed by that.
01:32:28.000
When he caught Patrick with that shot, and you know guys hit pretty well when he's like, I'm going to just change directions, go right for a double leg right now and not even think about it.
01:32:39.000
That single leg is not finished all that often, but someone who does it really well, I think, is Shogun.
01:32:47.000
The best is DC. If he gets a whole motion, you're like, you're going for a ride.
01:32:53.000
Shogun, I'm not a wrestler, I don't really know, but he seems to do it a different way.
01:32:59.000
He knows how to straighten your leg out and snap you down.
01:33:01.000
But in my opinion, the scariest is Nurmagomedov.
01:33:04.000
Nurmagomedov, that motherfucker outgrapples everybody.
01:33:07.000
Like, you see him get a hold of people, he just ragdolls everybody.
01:33:10.000
It's the way he's doing it that's so confusing.
01:33:13.000
Like, Dos Anjos is strong as fuck, and he's a really good grappler.
01:33:17.000
And when you see him fight Nurmagomedov, Nurmagomedov's like, eh, not today.
01:33:21.000
I think you'll be on bottom for a while, eating elbow sandwiches.
01:33:34.000
He was a world champion sambo, but wasn't he also a high-level wrestler?
01:33:44.000
Tony got a little better wrestling than Rafael Dos Anjos.
01:33:51.000
Oh, you're saying better wrestling than Dos Anjos?
01:34:02.000
Tony wrestled in high school and college and he's legit.
01:34:09.000
No, I'm with you, but I'm talking about UFC grappling wrestling.
01:34:28.000
How weird was it that Hinata Babalu was that Brazilian MMA fighter that was a wrestler.
01:34:38.000
You don't have a lot of big wrestlers to come out of Brazil.
01:34:42.000
You know who does an amazing job with a single leg is Glover Teixeira.
01:34:55.000
Well, Glover can do it because of Chuck Liddell.
01:34:57.000
It's different when you're raised that way and you're going to junior high school and you're wrestling and then you're going to high school and then you're going to college.
01:35:08.000
If Glover grabs your leg, if you're single leg, he's the one guy that your takedown defense probably isn't going to work too well.
01:35:15.000
What's really impressive, there's a video of your boy Cyborg, the other Cyborg, Roberto Abru.
01:35:28.000
Jamie, go look at CyborgBJJ on Instagram and pull up the video.
01:35:37.000
He passes, knee on the belly, and then the guy rolls into him and then he jumps to the back.
01:35:46.000
No, I'm talking about a video from like a week ago.
01:36:26.000
That's a 240-pound man that can move like that.
01:36:34.000
Matt Morris think he was 230. He's a fucking panther.
01:36:45.000
He is as good as he gets when it comes to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
01:36:52.000
He's different from a lot of those guys in his physical preparation, too.
01:36:56.000
He puts all these videos up of the strength and conditioning shit that he does.
01:37:02.000
That motherfucker is running with rubber bands pulling them and shit.
01:37:19.000
Were you bummed out that people were mad at you about that Metamorris bout?
01:37:26.000
Brandon Schaub just shut down all of his takedowns and just made him stand up there and realize, if I don't want this fight to go to the ground, you're not going to get me to the ground.
01:37:41.000
But the first thing you did, and you did this within a couple months of a UFC fight, and everybody was mad at you, but I was like, well, listen, you've got to look at it this way.
01:37:51.000
The other guy who's fighting is known for tearing knees to pieces.
01:38:03.000
I wouldn't have signed up if it wasn't for that.
01:38:07.000
I wanted to keep shooting, keep shooting, so I could get a hold of his neck.
01:38:13.000
So he stopped shooting, and then he just sat to his butt.
01:38:17.000
I was like, well, we gotta get something going here.
01:38:20.000
So your whole game plan was to try to catch him as he was trying to take you down.
01:38:24.000
Yes, and then when he decided to sit to his butt, I was like, I didn't even think of that.
01:38:32.000
Even when you were actually grappling, he never was able to put you in a weird position.
01:38:35.000
You should really do some Adam Morris type shit, dude.
01:38:39.000
Or Eddie Bravo, Invitational, a super fight in the heavyweight division...
01:39:02.000
Now that I know, what you was trying to do to me is catch me when I come in for the shot.
01:39:05.000
Because you're not going to be able to do that in overtime, EBI overtime.
01:39:11.000
There's only one guy in the world who I do that to, and that's Cyborg.
01:39:16.000
When the rule set says that if there's no submission at the end of 15 minutes or 20 minutes, it's a draw, I would do the exact same thing.
01:39:27.000
If I'm going with a guy that was fucking crazy dangerous, I'd rather take the goddamn draw than get choked out, or I would do the same goddamn thing.
01:39:37.000
My plan was to choke his ass out in a darts or a guillotine.
01:39:41.000
That was the plan to get him shooting to open up and transition.
01:39:44.000
Dude, if you submitted Cyborg, do you know how goddamn big that would be?
01:40:46.000
Because don't you think that the cut down to 170 has maybe diminished a bit of that?
01:40:57.000
But we haven't really been seeing him knock guys out like he did.
01:41:24.000
Dude, I'll go power at 170. Listen to me, Joe Rogan.
01:41:29.000
At 170 as well as 185. I think it's a great cut for him, too.
01:41:34.000
I mean, that's the third round, and he's not tired at all.
01:41:40.000
And you've got to think how rocked he got early in that round.
01:41:44.000
Well, he was covering up, and Berkman was going off on him.
01:41:52.000
Goddamn, that right hand was picture-perfect, too.
01:41:56.000
It's a huge fight in front of all his fans, too, in Canada.
01:42:03.000
Because it's one where, you know, you pull yourself out of the fire.
01:42:08.000
Like, you see the benefits from your training and your camp.
01:42:11.000
He was in a couple spots where he was in a lot of trouble.
01:42:27.000
If they didn't stop the fight, Berkman would have eventually gotten up.
01:42:31.000
What he does here, he goes, I don't want to come up.
01:42:42.000
He wasn't upset that they stopped it either, though.
01:42:59.000
I commentated a fight where the ref stopped it early, and the guy was complaining that it stopped it early.
01:43:04.000
So the ref said, this was in the hall, and the ref said, okay, fight again.
01:43:11.000
I don't want to throw the fighter under the bus.
01:43:26.000
And then he backed up in the corner so you could see it in his eyes.
01:43:30.000
He never thought the ref would continue the fight.
01:43:33.000
Hasn't that happened in the UFC before where they're like, no, no, watch the replay.
01:43:39.000
Well, not, but Murillo Bustamante had to tap Matt Lindon out twice.
01:43:49.000
Matt Lindland, he caught Matt Lindland in an arm bar.
01:43:51.000
Matt Lindland tapped, and then he said he didn't tap, so he was just trying to change his position.
01:43:55.000
And so they made him fight again, and then the next round, Murillo, I think, caught him in a guillotine.
01:44:05.000
Because, you know, it's an error by the referee.
01:44:10.000
Well, I think John saw the arm was fully straightened out.
01:44:19.000
That's Carlson Gracie's original squad of black belts.
01:44:24.000
And Matt Lindland, you know, he's a fucking competitor.
01:44:28.000
He bit somebody while I was wrestling with him.
01:44:30.000
Yeah, he was like one of his amateur wrestling matches.
01:44:34.000
He would always gross me out with all that tobacco on his upper lip type tobacco dude.
01:44:41.000
He was one of the toughest guys alive for a little while.
01:44:46.000
Yeah, he was one of the toughest 185 pounders in the world.
01:44:51.000
Well, that's when he fought David Terrell, when David Terrell was a real threat.
01:44:58.000
I remember him on Grappler's Quest, and he was just ripping heads off.
01:45:05.000
I heard in the gym he's like the biggest freak.
01:45:08.000
I heard he's an absolute nightmare to grapple with.
01:45:10.000
Well, you should see him fucking go back and watch his early Abu Dhabis.
01:45:18.000
You know, he had some serious fucking infections in his ear from Cauliflower where they had to remove his ear.
01:45:24.000
They cut his ear off his head and they had to scrape it out and there's all pus and everything in there.
01:45:29.000
I think they had to wind up cauterizing inside his ear.
01:45:35.000
Dude, cauliflower ear, you know, most of it, you look at Cote's ear right there, most of it is just cosmetic, but there are times where you get ear problems where it goes deep inside the ear and you're in a big fucking terrible situation.
01:45:48.000
The worst I've ever seen is guys when they, like on the outside it's not a big deal, but when it starts to close off and then their hearing is mitigated.
01:46:18.000
It'd be cool if we could press a button, like a mute button, where he could say some shit that you wouldn't want to say on air, but you just want to tell everyone else.
01:46:38.000
He's thinking maybe you're talking shit about him.
01:46:45.000
See, that's a fight where I agree that you almost shouldn't cut Berkman.
01:46:53.000
And by the way, he beats a lot of guys in that division.
01:47:01.000
You've beat so many good guys, they're not going to give you those easy matchups.
01:47:16.000
There's a video with him and this bodybuilder guy, and they're doing all these bodybuilder exercises.
01:47:21.000
I sent it to my friend who's a strength and conditioning coach, and he was horrified.
01:47:29.000
He was like, why the fuck would you ever do this kind of a workout, like a superset workout for MMA? He's like, you're literally going to make your body work against itself.
01:47:38.000
You're going to stress your muscles out, blow your muscles out in weird ways, stress out all, you know, like you're going to do bodybuilding stuff like bench presses.
01:47:46.000
It was really an interesting conversation and no one knows because what's good for you is not good for him.
01:47:52.000
Everybody's got their own different way of improving their body, but for Woodley, he feels that he was not as exposed.
01:47:58.000
Like he listened to many people like me that were saying he's carrying around too much muscle and that it was taken away from his explosion.
01:48:05.000
Because he was trying to lean out a little bit.
01:48:12.000
He might not have the best cardio, but he's going to be a motherfucking beast to hang out with for those first two rounds.
01:48:20.000
But he just has to do what he does best, you know?
01:48:25.000
Shane tried losing all this weight and shit, tried being a cardio guy, and he just wasn't the same fighter, man.
01:48:30.000
Yeah, you don't have what brought you to the dance, right?
01:48:35.000
Yeah, it's an interesting problem because if you fight in a guy like Johnny Hendricks, who's his next opponent, great fight by the way, right?
01:48:44.000
If the fight goes into the third round, can he compete at the same level?
01:48:50.000
You know Robbie Lawler can go balls to the wall for five rounds.
01:48:55.000
So if you try that shit in the first round on him and you're still there for the second and third rounds, you're going to be, you know, you're a different person now.
01:49:08.000
With all these strength coaches that you talk to.
01:49:13.000
Just to be a fucking demolition machine until you can't be a demolition machine and then get taken out.
01:49:18.000
Yeah, but until you meet a guy, until you meet a veteran who can weather your storm like Glover with OSM. OSB, OSB. And OSM. And OSM. I think you're doing great, Brian.
01:49:30.000
When you talk to these strength coaches, are there like three, four exercises all of them agree are very important to do?
01:49:37.000
You say that, but Sergey Kovalev, he believes in Pilates.
01:49:41.000
The fucking one of the best boxers on the planet.
01:49:46.000
Yeah, well, he does a lot of Pilates because he wants to stay flexible and has a big range of motion.
01:49:53.000
Because I've seen a lot of guys that are into yoga.
01:50:12.000
It's like that because it's a lot of housewives.
01:50:24.000
Those chicks look like they're putting out almost no effort.
01:50:27.000
Every time I look in there, I'm like, this looks like maybe the easiest workout you can do.
01:50:31.000
Everybody comes out, their body looks exactly the same.
01:50:34.000
Somebody who was a real athlete told me it was no joke.
01:50:51.000
We were going to bet on the main event, weren't we?
01:51:08.000
There have been times where he looked unbelievably yoked.
01:51:27.000
I don't want anybody to think that I think he's going to lose a fight.
01:51:36.000
Who's the top three most handsome UFC fighters, Brian?
01:51:45.000
This is a very good question and one of my favorite kinds of questions.
01:52:06.000
If he was shredded, if Cain had Luke Rockett in his body.
01:52:10.000
Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to step out of this conversation.
01:52:14.000
If you're into a manly face, Mark Hunt has the thickest face.
01:52:20.000
Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to take a step.
01:52:22.000
Fabrizio Verdum has very interesting facial expressions.
01:52:30.000
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but right now you're disrupting the conversation.
01:52:45.000
When he walks in the room, he creates a hungry eye epidemic, man.
01:53:16.000
I feel like it's offensive that you haven't mentioned Tim Kennedy at all.
01:53:19.000
I love Tim Kennedy, I just can't give him top ten.
01:53:22.000
He's all man, but I'm speaking aesthetically as a connoisseur of the male physique and face.
01:53:35.000
The only reason why anybody gets laid is because Luke Rockhold didn't get that first.
01:53:47.000
Well, there's people that like a Chris Weidman, an all-American-looking fella.
01:54:34.000
The only thing that separates him from Rockhold is Rockhold's taller.
01:54:53.000
I was staying next to him at a hotel, and he's just working out in the hallway, and I'm walking through with my girlfriend.
01:55:05.000
She was sprinting through the hotel hall, just kind of getting warmed up.
01:55:16.000
We had a real conversation here and you gotta bring up a professional.
01:55:19.000
He makes Eric Silva look like some dude from The Hobbit.
01:56:20.000
Yeah, but that's the only thing that Luke has over him.
01:56:23.000
Facially, he's like a 10. I like my men tall, Bob.
01:56:32.000
Well, if you want to count that, then, you know.
01:56:59.000
Now, do you think that he's lost muscle mass because he's trying to be leaner so he has more cardio because that has been his issue?
01:57:10.000
Brendan Schaub, you specifically, for the press.
01:57:21.000
And here we're seeing the aggression, like Aubrey was talking about.
01:57:26.000
He just threw some fucking big bombs right now.
01:57:37.000
Well, he has to be careful, too, because Neil's number one thing is cardio.
01:57:41.000
If you're Eric Silva, the worst thing is your cardio.
01:57:57.000
But other than that, he's looked awesome on the ground.
01:58:02.000
A little too high, but there was a wild scramble there.
01:58:12.000
Well, for a guy like Eric, you know, when he fights a guy like Matt Brown, and Matt Brown just outworks him and beats him down.
01:58:20.000
That's a sign of some dark shit on the ground for Magny right there.
01:58:25.000
There's a big difference of groundwork right here.
01:58:28.000
Also, he's got to also think after the Maya fight that Magny's a little suspect on the ground.
01:58:36.000
Well, that's Neil's biggest weakness if you have to pick something, right?
01:58:51.000
Add the other skills on top of that, that cardio that he has is such a giant advantage.
01:58:58.000
Let's say he were to lose this fight, worst case scenario, and he's lost two in a row, and he's come off a seven-fight win streak.
01:59:04.000
You go from seven-fight win streak to losing two in a row within two weeks.
01:59:08.000
I think at a certain point you need to be known for some kind of offensive weapon, like they gotta watch out for this or that, because you've been blasting people.
01:59:15.000
If you don't have that fucking special power or two or three, you're not gonna be able to hang at the top.
01:59:21.000
You gotta have some shit that they're worried about, you know?
01:59:28.000
It took him a certain distance, and now he needs some firepower.
01:59:34.000
I said, you're going to get to a certain point with those cardios and winning off points.
01:59:37.000
You're going to get a bad motherfucker who's going to go, nah, man, this ain't going to work.
01:59:44.000
Ben Henderson who doesn't care about your cardio.
02:00:08.000
Underhook on the left side gives him that second hook.
02:00:20.000
Well, what's what we're saying about the Matt Brown fight, that Eric just could not keep up with Matt Brown.
02:00:24.000
So for a guy like that, he's got to realize, now that he's been there before and he's drowned, you've got to realize, okay, I've got to figure out how to be able to sustain this, if it's possible.
02:00:36.000
He watched that fight, and I'm sure his coroner said, dude, we've got to get the cardio together.
02:00:41.000
If they were smart, they would be honest with him.
02:00:44.000
I think it's kind of a power thing, though, too.
02:01:22.000
I may have Gustafson in my top five handsome guys.
02:01:41.000
He kind of looks like that vampire from True Blood.
02:01:51.000
You know, in Sweden, for many years, they sterilize kids that didn't have perfectly symmetrical faces.
02:02:10.000
When you say look into it, did you look into it?
02:02:14.000
My brother-in-law is from Sweden and his face is not at all symmetrical.
02:02:20.000
They had him in the woods and they kept him from the officials.
02:02:30.000
Just Google it and pull up some studies and some peer-reviewed papers.
02:02:35.000
You got a phone right in front of you, brother.
02:02:38.000
Hey, I started off the conversation with, this is what I heard.
02:02:45.000
You said, look it up, but you haven't looked it up.
02:02:53.000
But, you know what, if I had to choose right now...
02:02:57.000
They do say that Swedish jails are probably the best places to be if you get arrested.
02:03:08.000
I just said, hey, there's some rumors out there.
02:03:13.000
Let's see if Eric and Silva can still keep his shit up in the second round.
02:03:19.000
This first, like, two minutes is super dangerous for Neil.
02:03:24.000
Looking for that spinning back kick to the body but didn't land it.
02:03:27.000
He looks like he's so open to get punched right in the face.
02:03:32.000
Well, he's got to think he must have done some serious cardio.
02:03:43.000
Magni always looks exactly the same in every fight.
02:03:49.000
Then his strength coach, Lorne Lando, has him do all these sleds and frickin' sprints.
02:04:15.000
How much of an advantage training at Denver, too, right?
02:04:20.000
You know, that's one of the things I had a conversation with about Nowitzki.
02:04:30.000
But he had a good comeback, Joe, because he goes, I don't think it's that much of an advantage yet.
02:04:34.000
He's saying it's not the same as EPO. When you travel, and then so you're in Vegas or wherever you're going to fight for a week, all that shit equalizes out in like three days.
02:04:44.000
I mean, all the benefits that you have of training at altitude.
02:04:57.000
I heard you guys, there's a thing called the internet, before you go on podcasts, and you say, I heard, maybe you should Google this fucking shit along with these goddamn eugenics studies.
02:05:45.000
A sea cucumber would be the dumbest because nobody would know what it is.
02:06:04.000
There's got to be dudes that are obsessed with snails.
02:06:16.000
I like Googling the tattoos that incorporate body parts, like armpits or vaginas or like assholes.
02:06:55.000
It really could be that he changed up the way he trains.
02:06:58.000
And he does more conditioning stuff, aerobic stuff, than he does strength stuff.
02:07:05.000
You know, the other thing he's got to realize, or you've got to, we all do, is that he's a guy who cut a lot of weight to make 170. He probably realized, I can't fucking do that anymore without the IVs.
02:07:14.000
There's a lot of these guys that are going to have to lose a tremendous amount of weight.
02:07:18.000
They're going to have to lose like 10 pounds of muscle.
02:07:20.000
There's a lot of guys that are going to have to lose 10. They're going to be a different person.
02:07:23.000
Different fighter, different person, different results.
02:07:28.000
Maybe it'll equal itself out, though, with less weight they had to cut because they already lost a lot of weight.
02:07:37.000
Less torture to the body, less trauma to the body.
02:07:42.000
Does Neil Magno have a tough time losing weight?
02:08:07.000
I think guys that have been to war and guys that are in the military, there's a different consequence to your discipline.
02:08:17.000
It's like a tried and tested in battle discipline.
02:08:20.000
I just think there's an advantage to having that.
02:08:23.000
You just don't see a lot of guys that have that high level discipline and military background get into MMA. You got like Colton Smith.
02:08:32.000
Stan, of course, but Stan and I think Tim Kennedy are the highest profile that fought at the highest level.
02:08:37.000
You don't have to worry about their mental game at all.
02:08:41.000
We were talking to him and his buddy was there and he said, you never see me nervous.
02:08:45.000
He doesn't get nervous, but it kind of makes sense for a guy like Tim Kennedy who's been through such extreme life and death circumstances.
02:08:52.000
And now it's just a fight, which means you'll break your nose or whatever.
02:08:57.000
Well, what you were saying was the craziest fucking thing when you guys were revealing on your podcast that Kennedy is still involved in military operations.
02:09:06.000
He just got back from Columbia, I think, a couple weeks ago.
02:09:12.000
Well, he's in the UFC right now, and he's still involved in special ops shit.
02:09:20.000
I mean, he talks about, when he talks about it, too, he's like, yeah, go on six missions a night.
02:09:28.000
His best friend died four days ago when we did the interview.
02:09:43.000
But it's amazing that he's still involved in those operations.
02:09:53.000
When Tim Kennedy knocked out Rafael Natal at the military base, the fight for the troops, that was one of the most emotional moments I have ever seen any fighter ever experience inside the octagon.
02:10:07.000
We had gone to commercial, and he was pointing to each individual people in the audience.
02:10:12.000
He just kept saying, I love you, I love you, I love all of you, I love you, I love you.
02:10:17.000
They were screaming for him, and he was screaming for them.
02:10:18.000
There was a bond that he had with those people.
02:10:21.000
He talks about the level of bonding when you can smell somebody in the dark.
02:10:29.000
He goes, and you've been through life and death situations over and over again.
02:10:49.000
He's even a different athlete than Jon Jones or any of the top athletes in the UFC. He's a different type of dude.
02:11:03.000
If I was hanging out with Tate and Joe and one of them farted, I would know who farted.
02:11:21.000
That was, in my defense, that was when Eddie was my dietician.
02:11:25.000
And we would go to like 7-Eleven before we'd get on a plane and be like, ooh, this one's got malitol in it.
02:11:42.000
The only time Magny's been in trouble, like where he got TKO'd, was on the Ultimate Fighter by Mike Ritchie.
02:11:47.000
But in his regular UFC career, he's really not been rocked.
02:12:01.000
I always wondered why he never made it back to the UFC. Well, the UFC owns Titan now, right?
02:12:18.000
I think Jason Chambers is doing commentary for Chuto Brazil.
02:12:38.000
He looks like he's shopping at Whole Foods right now.
02:12:50.000
This is a big difference between Neil Magny and Eric Silva as far as how much he can keep this up.
02:13:21.000
And also, when Maggie just took him down, he hammered him five or six times.
02:13:33.000
In the middle of googling eugenics in Sweden, I occasionally looked up when Eric Silva was on a rampage.
02:13:51.000
You guys get your information from the internet.
02:13:55.000
I love how you say the internet as if it's all the same source.
02:14:01.000
There's very different websites on the internet.
02:14:06.000
When was the last time somebody went to the library?
02:14:08.000
Some guy asked me the other day if I wanted to have someone who's a flat earth proponent.
02:14:14.000
He's apparently the best arguer for a flat earth.
02:14:25.000
Of course it's true, but the one thing that's fucking weird is you would think with all the satellites we have going in and out of our solar system, and how come there's no pictures of the Earth?
02:14:57.000
You would think there would be all these weird pictures of the sun here, the moon here, the Earth there, the sun here.
02:15:04.000
I have one of those in my Trapper Keeper when I was a kid.
02:15:07.000
First of all, with the satellites, they're all inside of 400 miles, most of them at least.
02:15:12.000
And then when you get past that, they usually don't take pictures.
02:15:15.000
You don't think they would take a bunch of pictures of Earth?
02:15:17.000
They show the Earth when it's like a little tiny dot in the distance.
02:15:20.000
Hey, if I'm wrong and there is like thousands of pictures of Earth, there's just all these weird, like, the sun here, the moon here, then hey, I don't know.
02:15:30.000
But to have a satellite that far out and take pictures, they've only sent a few of those out there.
02:15:36.000
They've only sent a couple different satellites that deep into space.
02:15:40.000
No, but sure, there is hundreds of pictures on the internet that you can see of the Earth with the sun in the background, the moon over here, sun in the moon, moon-sun, from this angle.
02:15:48.000
But, Eddie, you can see the Earth rounded from space.
02:15:51.000
I'm going to need you to send this round out, Eddie.
02:15:55.000
Maybe has never been the worst way of beginning that statement.
02:16:05.000
I just want to see pictures of Earth from space.
02:16:23.000
Usually I can kind of hear you out, Eddie, but...
02:16:29.000
There's the one that they faked in the Apollo 11 moon missions.
02:17:22.000
Now, did you take that day off when we were talking about Earth?
02:17:41.000
Well, you could just do the Halle Gravesy method and just pay him in private lessons.
02:18:04.000
So Brian tried poaching athletes from EBI. I knew that.
02:18:20.000
I'm not gonna, like, fucking stalk him or anything like that.
02:18:23.000
How come he stopped using the crowd for Hannah Morris?
02:18:26.000
He does it in Black House so that they don't have a big overhead now.
02:18:39.000
Let's have a fucking festival, but let's not have the audience.
02:18:45.000
Can you imagine doing stand-up with no audience?
02:18:59.000
If you have a show, if you have an event, and nobody shows up, and no one shows up to be in the audience, no matter what happens, that show sucks.
02:19:09.000
But he's making that happen because he wants it.
02:19:13.000
I would say, especially with as boring as a lot of his matches are, that it's nice if you could pan down and go, God, there's Hicks and Gracie.
02:19:24.000
We're talking about what the UFC should do, what the commission should do, and what this show should do.
02:19:28.000
I don't think that's a good move for Metamorris.
02:19:36.000
It's a good thing that we have all these shows.
02:19:45.000
Yeah, you know, and I would love that there's a show out there and there's going to be super fights being put on.
02:20:02.000
You've thrown a monkey wrench in the whole game with those overtime scenarios.
02:20:08.000
You know, first I was like, how is this going to work?
02:20:10.000
When you tell me about it, I didn't have the vision.
02:20:13.000
But then the first time I went and saw it live, I went, that's the way.
02:20:18.000
Because you would go through these matches, they would hit 20 minutes, there would be no finish, and that would be the end of it.
02:20:23.000
But now, there's a finish in a lot of those matches.
02:20:30.000
Because you're starting off in a three-quarter position.
02:20:38.000
It's the best grappling show I've ever been to.
02:20:53.000
I don't want people to go to overtime and the people, most of the reviews have 90% no shit have been super positive.
02:21:06.000
Just nothing but positive, positive, positive, positive.
02:21:10.000
And occasionally people will say, I hate the overtime rounds.
02:21:13.000
Because it's not fair that we put, you know, you're going to get a guy who couldn't pass the guard and couldn't get his back naturally.
02:21:19.000
Now you're going to take me to overtime and And you're going to put that guy on the back who couldn't earn that on his own?
02:21:32.000
You hear that argument a lot of times from wrestlers.
02:21:35.000
It's so ironic because wrestling, they'll start on their knees with a guy behind them with one hand on their waist.
02:21:43.000
You start in a disadvantageous position all the time.
02:21:47.000
It's a big part of high school and college wrestling.
02:21:50.000
But Eddie, you didn't lose any of your competitors, right?
02:21:56.000
He went after EBI. When EBI 3 was announced, it was the 170 welterweight and the returning champion was Gary Tonin.
02:22:08.000
Dylan Dennis, who I didn't even know who Dylan Dennis was, to be honest with you.
02:22:12.000
I don't really keep up with what's going on in the gi, IBJJF shit.
02:22:16.000
You have to be a superstar for me to know who you are.
02:22:19.000
He comes to my school and says, I want to go into EBI. I want to go against Gary Tonin.
02:22:25.000
I go, I can't promise you anything, but let me look into you.
02:22:30.000
And I looked into him like, holy shit, this guy is a Phenom, freak, brown belt, who's killing everybody in absolute...
02:22:38.000
He just went in gold after gold, just tapping everybody.
02:22:46.000
Gary Tonin and Dylan Dennis on the internet, on Facebook.
02:22:53.000
And then Hallett comes in and offers Dylan Dennis and Gary Tonin Exclusive contracts.
02:23:09.000
He got Dylan, but he didn't get Gary, thank God.
02:23:12.000
The show went off and Gary ended up winning and it was a great show and it got great reviews, but But if Gary would have agreed to this, you know, and what Halleck says is, anytime anybody brings this up, he just distracts everybody and says, hey,
02:23:32.000
You specifically went after my top two guys in my show, and you tried to ruin my show.
02:23:37.000
But the UFC, you talk shit on the UFC, then the UFC does that.
02:23:42.000
What an arrogant guy to think also that you are the UFC. You're not.
02:23:58.000
I thought, hey, you need submission specialists for your show.
02:24:01.000
Your show gets a lot of bad reviews because of the boredom.
02:24:05.000
That's the big problem with jiu-jitsu, just like Joe was saying.
02:24:08.000
Jiu-jitsu is like, how do you remove the boredom from it?
02:24:13.000
It's a very complicated, sophisticated little game, but you're not going to put it You'll never have it on Fox.
02:24:19.000
Although the game has a lot of prestige and a lot of respect behind it, but you're never going to see it on TV. Jiu Jitsu is exactly the same way.
02:24:33.000
Gi Jiu Jitsu is very intricate, very sophisticated, beautiful, the way they're using the Gi to control body, but you're just not gonna put it on TV. It's just too much holding.
02:24:46.000
Even guys who know Jiu Jitsu, I noticed when I've been at Metamorphosis.
02:24:54.000
Black belt legends don't even keep track of the Mundials.
02:25:00.000
You've got to recognize it and go, okay, if we want a show, if we want jiu-jitsu to, let's say, get on TV or get to the highest platform possible, we've got to do everything possible to remove...
02:25:17.000
Would you suggest points for, like, I don't know.
02:25:24.000
No matter what point system you come up with, it's a point is a point is a point.
02:25:29.000
If passing the guard is one point or it's 15 points, it's still you're up, and now there's no urgency to make the move.
02:26:05.000
And there had to be an overtime that determined a winner.
02:26:23.000
EBI 5. You can see EBI... Is it true that Halleck's going to compete in yours?
02:26:41.000
All I'm trying to do, I'm just trying to make jujitsu entertaining for the masses.
02:26:50.000
But hey, Eddie, you're about to lose two grand on this main event, my man.
02:27:06.000
It's kind of weird that Oliveira comes out with glasses on.
02:27:11.000
If he has vision issues, he should have corrected that.
02:27:15.000
I mean, it's weird that his vision issues are so bad that he wants to wear his glasses up until the time he gets in the octagon.
02:27:24.000
He's the World Series of Fighting world champ at 170. 55, right?
02:27:44.000
They can't fight with contacts or LASIK. They used to fight with contacts.
02:27:52.000
Well, LASIK, there's two different ways of doing it.
02:27:57.000
There's another way of doing it that it takes longer to heal.
02:28:05.000
I might be even saying wrong about Lasix is more vulnerable.
02:28:09.000
And the more common way, you're not supposed to have contact sports.
02:28:12.000
Because if you get rocked, that stitching or the tearing, wherever the cut, the scar tissue, could open up and you're fucked.
02:28:25.000
Yeah, he's probably listening to some Jesus music or something.
02:28:29.000
Do you know why it doesn't hurt when they laser your eyes?
02:28:35.000
You don't believe you have nerve endings in your eyes.
02:28:38.000
Because when I go in the cryo chamber, my eyes never hurt.
02:28:43.000
You're burning them with lasers, and you're awake.
02:28:50.000
You had LASIK, and you can't fight anymore, then?
02:29:02.000
MMA media, Brendan Schaub lies under oath about LASIK. I got it when I was playing football.
02:29:24.000
I don't really think Conor McGregor doesn't have the legitimate, international, intermediate, intermittent belts.
02:29:43.000
We're getting millions of downloads for this show.
02:29:46.000
Is it possible for Joey Diaz to do an impression of Conor McGregor?
02:29:53.000
No, I'm talking about you doing an impression of Joey doing an impression of Conor McGregor.
02:30:31.000
And if you've ever heard him do a Porsche or a Rottweiler, it's about as good as it gets.
02:31:09.000
That's that bitch from that movie, was it The Ring?
02:31:17.000
That's Noguera's joints when he wakes up in the morning.
02:31:21.000
Didn't you say that Noguera has to have someone work on his back for over an hour before he actually works out?
02:31:30.000
And everyone told me when I was fighting, I'd be like, bro, don't worry, it takes him an hour just to get ready.
02:31:39.000
This is a great fucking fight we're about to watch here.
02:31:42.000
By the way, how fun are these goddamn fight companions?
02:31:46.000
I was immersed in girl activities, my daughters and my wives, all this girl, girl, girl shit, and I'm looking at that clock in six hours.
02:32:00.000
We can talk manly shit, talk shit to each other.
02:32:05.000
Dude, I watched The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills today.
02:32:10.000
I was working out in my little gym, and it was on, and I watched it, and watched these bitches scream at each other, and watched these girls turn at each other, and I'm like, how bizarre is this behavior, and how bizarre are these women?
02:32:28.000
The hot girls of Las Vegas, or the hot wives of Las Vegas.
02:32:50.000
Here's an old beat-up bitch that's torturing some poor guy that sucked into this existence.
02:33:08.000
But who was up in the betting here between you two?
02:33:26.000
Because remember, Joe, I won the $500 on Glover OSB fight.
02:33:32.000
What do you guys think about Glover vs Pat Collins?
02:33:45.000
That's a big statement about how you feel about Glover.
02:33:49.000
He's my closest training partner when I was fighting, you know?
02:33:52.000
If I could pick a horrible matchup for him, it would be Glover.
02:34:06.000
Oh, you're an amazing athlete with those crazy kicks?
02:34:08.000
Well, not the only chance, but a good chance that Pat can mimic is when he fought Phil Davis in Brazil.
02:34:14.000
But that was a Glover who was kind of like all worn down, was like eating fucking just veggies or some shit.
02:34:19.000
Also, he was coming off of that, he's only eating veggies?
02:34:23.000
He was coming off the Jon Jones fight, and he hurt his shoulder pretty bad in that fight.
02:34:37.000
He was training for that fight in Connecticut in a garage, remember?
02:34:40.000
Yeah, they heard the countdown shows, and they showed him riding a stationary bike, listening to ABBA. And that's it.
02:34:50.000
He looks every bit of 45. This is not 37 from six years ago when you could do stuff and get away with it.
02:34:58.000
Legit 37 is every boxer that's ever been good ever except for George Foreman is done.
02:35:06.000
But we don't know what Bernard Hopkins is doing as far as growth and stuff like that.
02:35:09.000
If people don't think he's ever taken something, you're fucking crazy.
02:35:19.000
But that may be, in many ways, one of the greatest sporting feats we've seen before.
02:35:27.000
He doesn't seem to be diminished as far as his ability to talk.
02:35:42.000
See, I feel like Oliveira is more technical, standing up, and I think he's way better on the ground.
02:35:55.000
Right hook to the body, and then straight left afterwards.
02:35:57.000
I was just so impressed with the way he took it to Cub, kept moving, wore him out, hurt him a couple times, almost finished him once, and then finished him again.
02:36:09.000
And the other thing about Holloway is he's young.
02:36:13.000
23. When you get a guy like that, you're seeing him every six months.
02:36:19.000
So you can't even judge him by who he used to be six months ago.
02:36:32.000
He's like, I'm just going to put all my training together.
02:36:34.000
I'm going to throw everything at him right now.
02:36:51.000
And then, of course, Max Holloway just got the biggest win.
02:37:24.000
Yeah, it was shaping up to be an interesting fight, but Holloway was teeing up on him already.
02:37:47.000
Give us some volume, you know, Jamie, so we can find out what they're saying.
02:38:08.000
Well, you can't ask for a performance bonus for that.
02:38:46.000
I would think he broke it, and then he didn't really feel the extent of it until he stood up.
02:39:01.000
You make the next bet, and it'll be double or nothing.
02:39:09.000
I don't know where Sean Shelby went, but I'll find them.
02:39:11.000
Let's circle a date, put these two back on, and put them back in a main event.
02:39:24.000
Well, it's fucked up that his nose started bleeding immediately when he did that.
02:39:45.000
Because Eddie Bravo would have stuffed it right up your ass.
02:39:54.000
Well, it was a real fight, but I'll tell you what, I was super impressed with Holloway before that.
02:39:57.000
Before the ending, he was really landing some nice shots.
02:40:29.000
You can get hit in the neck there, like judo shots.
02:40:40.000
In the movies with the gun, they take the gun and go pshh.
02:40:45.000
Aubrey's talking about like the judo chop and hit them and they pass out, right?
02:40:49.000
Well, apparently there's that movie about that cult leader that just came out and he killed somebody with judo chops, apparently.
02:41:03.000
He killed a guy with judo chops and then started a cult with a bunch of hot chicks who wore white and he banged them all.
02:41:09.000
There are no chops in judo, but you know what I mean?
02:41:19.000
Well, I saw the Flintstones and they said, Fred Flintstone said, a judo, a judo, a chop, chop, chop.
02:41:58.000
Why are they calling that TKO? That's ridiculous.
02:42:04.000
Well, do they revise that if they find out what happened to his neck?
02:42:13.000
Hey, you know, I want to do like BJ and be the champ.
02:42:47.000
Kenny Florence says Charles Olivia hurt his neck when he went headfirst into the cage.
02:42:56.000
For sure, he better not have stopped because it was Stinger.
02:42:58.000
Lose my number if you stopped because it was Stinger.
02:43:11.000
On the Brazilian internet, they released all his information so everybody can hate him.
02:43:15.000
Oh, I get death threats from Brazilians all the time.
02:43:18.000
One of the coolest moments was, you know, working for the UFC, you're running into these famous fighters all the time, and when Noguera first came over, we started talking, and we exchanged numbers, and I thought it was the craziest shit that I'm exchanging numbers with fucking Noguera.
02:43:35.000
We've never, like, exchanged any texts or anything after that.
02:43:44.000
It's his opponent, the 26-year-old opponent, not Sam.
02:43:46.000
His first UFC fight knocks out Sam Stout and says, I'm done.
02:44:07.000
Here's the man who killed somebody with judo chops.
02:44:18.000
Abandoned his first wife and daughter to ride to Hollywood on a motorcycle in addition for the role of Tarzan.
02:44:24.000
Yeah, well, he may or may not have killed someone with judo chops.
02:44:44.000
Somebody said something to theeconomist.com to me about it.

In his cult, they made one of the doctrines was you had to smoke weed for exactly seven second pulls from the bong.
02:45:06.000
I was like, in the commandments, you had to go.
02:45:10.000
And then they would do kundalini yoga and get all high and then fuck each other.
02:45:16.000
Yeah, we're trying to find out what happened to Charles Oliveira, but I'm scared, man.
02:45:24.000
Because if you're all amped up with adrenaline and sweating and your neck gets hurt that bad, you're stopping.
02:45:30.000
Early on, you have the nerves, like you said, all the adrenaline.
02:46:02.000
Oh yeah, he's got some serious problems with his eye.
02:46:09.000
At least he didn't punch him in the face there.
02:46:19.000
So they sent me this thing for Eddie, and they go, between 35 and 76, no fewer than 60,000 young Swedish women deemed mentally defective or otherwise handicapped to a degree, which makes them, quote, incapable of looking after their children or sterilized.
02:46:33.000
Well, that's not quite the same as looking bad, but continue.
02:46:43.000
Apparently they were judged by the symmetry of their face.
02:46:48.000
They thought that the symmetry of your face determined how...
02:46:51.000
Is that what it says online or are you just guessing?
02:46:58.000
They did study faces to see if they had any correlation to criminal behavior.
02:47:06.000
Of course, that turned out to be complete shit.
02:47:07.000
They found out ugly people were committing crimes.
02:47:10.000
There's a way you could look at someone's face and say they're a criminal.
02:47:17.000
It was actually considered a science for a while.
02:47:30.000
It bums me out because I'm worried about that dude's neck.
02:47:35.000
Joe Riggs was the last time that happened when Joe went down from that takedown.
02:47:39.000
But Joe's so battered and beat up, I just figured it was probably an old injury.
02:48:05.000
Okay, next fight companion, you pick the main event.
02:48:13.000
There's no way he's going to do a fight companion for Ronda Rousey.
02:48:30.000
In Japan, there's no way you're going to that show.
02:48:43.000
And people are like, yeah, you guys talk over each other and you shit on each other.
02:48:50.000
But it's amazing how controlled it is, even in this atmosphere.
02:48:55.000
It's amazing that Brian Cowen still tries to give jiu-jitsu advice.
02:48:59.000
The first thing I say, butter your chin, push down on the knee.
02:49:05.000
Inverted triangle, he said, oh, what you need to do in front of Eddie Brown.
02:49:09.000
You were the most qualified talking about most handsome man, though.
02:49:16.000
But, I mean, and we still really haven't gotten down to it, because you've got to go, Luke, you've got to go your boy, Juban.
02:49:23.000
Also, I think what you're going to need to do in order to really have a definitive idea...
02:49:43.000
I double up, but I don't ever look at that shit.
02:49:45.000
The other one you should post like ridiculous shit.
02:49:56.000
When are you going to bring back Eddie Bravo Radio?
02:50:09.000
And we're probably going to do an On It one from Texas this week.
02:50:19.000
Oliveira's neck is braced and he's on a stretcher.
02:50:29.000
Well, all of our hopes and wishes are for Oliveira.
